Course Info
Learning professionals use tests for a variety of reasons, yet the guidelines and best practices for developing reliable and valid tests are not widely known. This program, offered in partnership with ACT Inc., provides a comprehensive approach to ensuring your tests measure what they claim to measure, both consistently and reliably.
Through examples and application exercises, learn the entire test development and delivery process, including planning the test, creating test items, creating the test form, delivering the test, and evaluating the test. Ample time will be dedicated to item-writing so you can gain experience generating well-crafted test items. Learn from facilitators who are real-world consultants whose professional focus is to help organizations improve their testing practices.

WHAT OUR PARTICIPANTS ARE SAYING
Testimonials
"The best takeaway was learning how to determine the appropriate passing score for an exam. This program instructs participants how to properly create an examination in a way that most people probably wouldn't think of or haven't been exposed to before."
"My favorite takeaway from this program is the fact that there is a system and a science to creating great test questions that creates a fairness to all students. The [facilitator] was very knowledgeable and was able to answer questions that pertained to theory, history and "outside of the norm" of the topic."
"My favorite takeaway from this program was the more complete view of an effective test item. We had been focused on writing items that aligned with our course objectives, but had not been paying enough attention to our distractors. I feel confident that I am better prepared to write and analyze more complete items."
